Incredible Cinema With A Capital “E!” My “Movies A-Z” Countdown Continues!

Here are some movies with the letter “E” – from Bruce Lee’s “Enter The Dragon” to “Election”, The Exorcist” and a rare 70’s action gem with Lee Marvin too!

Get Ready For Some “E”eccentric Cinema!

My alphabetical countdown of my favorite movies – the 26-part “Movies A-Z” – continues with the letter “E” – another letter full of incredible cinema – as always, I have tried to find some mainstream choices as well as cult cinema and eclectic movies that may not be on your radar!

10 – “Election”

Reese Witherspoon starred with Matthew Broderick in this 1999 black comedy about a high school election that spirals wildly out of control, and how the campaign changed both of their lives forever.

  1. What a great list! I recently (re)watched Erin Brockovich and it retains all the wonder of the first time I’ve seen it.

    The one E movie I’d add would be… E.T. 🙂

  2. Eastern Promises is one that’s great. I really liked Viggo after that one. Great list John. Let’s see. Hmmm. What do I think of when I think of “E” films. I think of E.T. and Ex Machina.
